Owners vs. Members - Members can do everything except add more members to a team. Members can invite other members but this will send an email to all the owners of the Team for approval of the invite.
Admin assistants will be owners so they can add and remove staff
- In Teams select the Teams Icon
- Select the team you want to add a member to (if not already selected)
- Select the 3 dots "…" next to the team name
- Select "Add member"
- Start typing the person's name or email and select them (You can also select a group of people to add them all at once)
- Optional: If you would like the person to be an owner of the team, select "Member" next to their name and drop down to "owner"
- Select the "Add" button
Channels
All Teams start with one channel called "General". This channel can't be renamed or deleted.
To create additional channels (so staff can join them with their walkie talkies)
- In Teams select the Teams Icon
- Select the team you want to add a member to (if not already selected)
- Select the 3 dots "…" next to the team name
- Select "Add Channel"
- Give the Channel a short, descriptive name (short so that it shows up better in the walkie talkie app)
- Choose a type
- Standard - lets everyone from the Team use it
- Shared - DOES NOT WORK for walkie talkies but allows people outside the Team membership to access it
- Private - has you choose a subset of the team members to be able to use it.
- Create
on the left side navigation.
